About This Book

The award-winning "Arthur" trilogy comes to its magnificent conclusion.

Fans of The Seeing Stone and At the Crossing Places will find their questions about Arthur's home life answered in deeply satisfying (though often surprising) ways. King of the Middle March brims with the medieval texture and dazzling detail that Crossley-Holland fans have come to expect, but also with new depths of feeling and wisdom that grown-ups and those growing up alike can appreciate. In this book, Arthur steps forward to become a man worthy of his kingly name.
